I was having the same problem with the font files not being found.

Andy's ".configure" idea helped me.  I re-installed ImageMagick from source
and pointed to the fonts explicity using:

%sudo apt-get remove imagemagick
%./configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1
%make
%sudo make install

(I found that directory by doing a search for files called '*.pfb.'  Yours
could be different.)
